Essentials for Every MTF TG's Purse

By Diane Hutchinson

What items should every MTF transgender have in her purse? Though it may appear to be, this is not a set up for a joke. After years of going out in public dressed as Diane I have developed a list of essential items that I always carry. Some of the items are very obvious, but many only became apparent after I needed it and didn’t have the item on me. Hopefully, I can spare some of you the inconveniences I have dealt with myself. I decided to break the list down into two lists. The first is the list of items that should never leave your purse unless being used. All of the items in this list are inexpensive and therefore reasonable to leave in your purse. The second list is of things that need to be carried by you everyday whether you are in boy or girl mode. These items require you to move them into your purse when needed. Both lists are not meant to be all inclusive. Yes all this stuff will fit in most purses except maybe those really teenie weenie ones.

Items kept in Purse all the times

* $5 or $10 - Some emergency cash should be stuffed away in a side compartment. If you forget to move your cash from your wallet to your purse at least you have some cash.

* Phone card - The card should have at least ten minutes time on it. Unless you only call local, this is a good idea.

* Xerox copies of important documents - Documents like your AAA card or proof of health insurance for example. Used only as a backup.

* Aspirin - Clubs, bars and meetings can be very loud. You don’t want a headache ruining your good time.

* Safety pins - These can be a life saver if you lose a button or snap. Two or three in different sizes are good.

* Concealer Stick - Very handy to touch up small areas. Be sure it is in the same shade as your foundation.

* Folding hairbrush and/or comb - Let’s face it, if you have no way to fix your hair after coming in from a windy night you’re going to be self conscience and miserable.

* One dose of any medication you may need - I carry an allergy tablet with me because sometimes smoke will bring on my allergies. Someone else might carry antacid or a dose of a prescription they need on occasion.

* Important phone numbers - If you have a friend or family member that knows about your crossdressing, always keep their number handy.

* Exact change - Good for local phone calls and tolls. If you don’t mind driving through the manned toll booth and have a phone card it is not necessary.

* Qtips - Too many possible uses to list. It is preferable if these are of the makeup type (one end flat like an applicator and the other pointed).

* Tissues - Like Qtips, a million and one uses.

* Barrette or scunchie - If you have long hair sometimes you’re going to need to make sure it keeps out of your face or isn’t blowing around.

* Condom - Even if you think you will never need one of these babies it can’t hurt to have it. Of course if you’re married you better never be needing one!

* Band-Aids - Not only for cuts. In a pinch these can be used to fix a fallen hem line.

* Breath mints - You don’t want to be known as the woman with the dragon breath now do you?

* Pen and paper - To jot down names, notes, numbers, etc..

* Nail clippers and file - If you keep your nails long like I do you already know what a pain it is when a nail breaks or gets a rough edge to it.

Items to be put in Purse before you go out

  • Cash
  • Drivers license
  • Health insurance card
  • AAA or other auto club card
  • Credit card(s)
  • ATM card
  • Address and phone number of where you are going
  • Any other important papers you need to carry
  • Car keys
  • House keys
  • Beeper

That’s it. Really I am sure each of you can add to the above lists. Even after several years I still from time to time discover some new "must carry" item. I guess what you carry with you while crossdressed is only limited by your imagination and of course the size of your purse.
